Birth Preparation Package
Pregnancy brings incredible change, and your body deserves informed, supportive care. We believe every mom deserves to feel confident going into birth, whether you are having symptoms during pregnancy or not.
This is why we created our 3-visit birth preparation package. To help you understand your pelvic floor, prepare your body for labor, and set you up for success during the early postpartum period.
Whether you are planning a hospital birth, birth center delivery, home birth, medicated or unmedicated, or a scheduled C-Section. Our ultimate goal is to help you feel supported, confident, and empowered!
Birth Prep Package:
Visit 1: Pelvic Floor Assessment and Your Birth Goals (90 minute Evaluation)
This visit can happen starting in the 2nd Trimester. We focus on understanding your pelvic floor and how to best prepare your body for labor and delivery. You will be given exercises focused on preparing both your pelvic floor and body for delivery. We can also review exercise and discuss ways you can keep your body strong through pregnancy!
Visit 2: Prepare for Labor (60 minutes)
During this visit, we review pelvic floor function while teaching you different strategies for pushing and breathing. Additionally, we review different labor and delivery positions with emphasis on what is most comfortable for you. You will also learn how to reduce risk of perineal tearing and progress labor.
Visit 3: Prepare for Postpartum (60 minutes)
The goal is to prepare your mind for postpartum and give you easy-to-follow guidance on caring for your pelvic floor and core, returning to exercise, intimacy, or any other concern you have.
Price: $475

Birth Preparation Testimonials
-
I saw Julie several times in my most recent pregnancy to investigate specific pelvic floor concerns as well as prepare for my homebirth after cesarean birth. Julie is so kind and genuine, which made it easy instead of uncomfortable to be seen for such a personal exam. If nothing else, I’d have simply been grateful for the knowledge of finally understanding my pelvic floor in general after my first couple visits, but I did go on to have a successful homebirth and I know Julie played an important role in helping me prepare both physically and mentally for that! Will absolutely trust to see her again in the future!

I can’t say enough great things about Julie! She was a vital part of my prenatal and postnatal care. Julie is all about finding the root of the issue and makes sure she doesn’t miss any details. Even when my birth plan shifted, she was quick to guide me through all the unfamiliarities that came with it. If you’re looking to add pelvic floor / physical therapy into your life, I highly recommend Julie!! She has set me up so well for not only future pregnancies, but also for my current journey back into fitness. It has been such a blessing working with her!!
